Disciplinary Core Ideas

LS1.A: Structure and Function

• All organisms have external parts. Different animals use their body parts in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects, protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and take in food, water and air. Plants also have different parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits) that help them survive and grow. (1-LS1-1)

LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms

• Adult plants and animals can have young. In many kinds of animals, parents and the offspring themselves engage in behaviors that help the offspring to survive. (1-LS1-2)

LS1.D: Information Processing

• Animals have body parts that capture and convey different kinds of information needed for growth and survival. Animals respond to these inputs with behaviors that help them survive. Plants also respond to some external inputs. (1-LS1-1)

LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits

• Young animals are very much, but not exactly like, their parents. Plants also are very much, but not exactly, like their parents. (1-LS3-1)

LS3.B: Variation of Traits

• Individuals of the same kind of plant or animal are recognizable as similar but can also vary in many ways. (1-LS3-1)

Common Core State Standards Connections:

ELA/Literacy -
RI.1.1	Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. (1-LS1-2),(1-LS3-1)
RI.1.2	Identify the main topic and retell key details of a text. (1-LS1-2)
RI.1.10	With prompting and support, read informational texts appropriately complex for grade. (1-LS1-2)
W.1.7	Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., explore a number of “how-to” books on a given topic and use them to write a sequence of instructions). (1-LS1-1),(1-LS3 -1)
W.1.8	With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question. (1-LS3-1)
Mathematics -
MP.2	Reason abstractly and quantitatively. //(1-LS3-1)//
MP.5	Use appropriate tools strategically. //(1-LS3-1)//
1.NBT.B.3	Compare two two-digit numbers based on the meanings of the tens and one digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <. //(1-LS1-2)//
1.NBT.C.4	Add within 100, including adding a two-digit number and a one-digit number, and adding a two-digit number and a multiple of 10, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning uses. Understand that in adding two-digit numbers, one adds tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose a ten. //(1-LS1-2)//
1.NBT.C.5	Given a two-digit number, mentally find 10 more or 10 less than the number, without having to count; explain the reasoning used. //(1-LS1-2)//
1.NBT.C.6	Subtract multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 from multiples of 10 in the range 10-90 (positive or zero differences), using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. //(1- LS1-2)//
1.MD.A.1	Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object. //(1-LS3-1)//
